Large File System Compatibility Issue
For a compatibility issue related to the support of larger file systems, see “Usage of

Logical Volume Manager
As of HP-UX 11i v1.6, the Logical Volume Manager (LVM) is the designated default
volume manager. As such, LVM provides a feature set on Itanium-based platforms in
HP-UX 11i v2 that is equivalent to the set provided for the Logical Volume Manager
(LVM) feature on PA-RISC systems in HP-UX 11i v1.
Summary of Change
Formerly, shared LVM volumes (SLVM) were supported in ServiceGuard HA clusters
with as many as eight nodes. The changes in HP-UX 11i v2 allow for the support of
SLVM in configurations of up to 16 nodes.
On HP-UX 11i v2, the LVM powerfail message has been changed from
LVM: vg[1]: pvnum=0 (dev_t=0x32000) is POWERFAILED
to
LVM: VG 64 0x50000: PVLink 31 0x32000 Failed!. The PV is not
accessible.
